Nothing like taking a teeny tiny, whiny, corrupt angry zealot and replacing him with a big ol' bribe-taking, bombastic, corrupt angry zealot. That'll make it all better.
If you need help with that, we have a local bird, the loggerhead shrike (a kind of butcherbird) that impales its prey on sharp objects like cactus thorns. Since we're talking tiny here, our shrike would be the perfect helper for you.
It would probably take a whole flock of the largest birds in the world to be able to accomplish that. But what I love about saguaros is that they can be very, very tall, and it would be scary to be pinned at the top of a tall one. Especially if the thorns were to give way…
🤣 Those were the days my friend I’d thought they never end we’d sing and dance forever and a day we’d live the life we choose… in case forgot: Song by Mary Hopkin ‧ 1969

"Tom Homan is widely recognized as a key proponent, architect, and early advocate of the "zero tolerance" immigration policy that resulted in the separation of thousands of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border during the first Trump administration.
Journalist Caitlin Dickerson, who conducted extensive research into the policy, described Homan as the "intellectual father" of family separation, noting that he proposed the concept years before it was adopted by the Trump administration.
Key details regarding Homan's role include:
Origin of the Idea: Homan first proposed separating migrant families as a deterrent to illegal border crossings during the Obama administration, though that proposal was rejected at the time.
Implementation under Trump: When Homan became acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2017, he advocated for the policy, and it was officially implemented as part of the "zero tolerance" strategy in 2018.
Defense of the Policy: Homan has openly defended the practice, arguing that separating families was a necessary deterrent to illegal immigration. In a 2018 interview, he defended the action by saying, "A child can't go into U.S. Marshals' custody with the parents being charged with a crime or entering the country illegally."
I’m sure everyone has seen this by now, but I read a meme this morning that said Benito Bovino (of the 1/3 Reich) with Tom Homan is like sh*tting your pants and changing your shirt.
Or putting the dog outside but leaving the dogshit in the house. Read a suggestion that Minnesotans should throw paper bags of dog shit at him, or maybe just monopoly $$....
That's because thet all have rectal cranial inversion. Starting at the top is there anyone in this administration who doesn't have their head up their ass? A few members of Congress probably have their heads up his orangeness' ass!
She just likes to kill anyone and anything that's alive! She must have had some childhood! I am a life coach so I see this also as psychology deficient. They all are! Pam Bondi and all of them!
Reminding me once again of the observation that there are so many more horses asses than horses around. (Apologies to horses, which are fine creatures)
Anonymous, you in turn reminded me of the standard response from those security-clearanced nuclear engineers building a reactor for the Manhattan Project decades ago. A massive construction site could not go unnoticed by citizens, but secrecy had to be maintained. The common question, "What are you building?" was answered with, "The front ends of horses to be shipped to Washington, D.C. for final assembly."
Great line. Applicable to stuff being built today. Wish I'd heard it before Musk Tesla diner opened up in West Hollywood. Happy to report there are No Lines and an empty parking lot.
They're already on the job, ICE goons, which is why the masks so facial recognition technology cannot tag them Again. I think I saw a post that Proud Boys leader definitely is high up in ICE; bloodthirsty disgruntled vengeful goons.
Yeah, Doug Collins, the Secretary of Veteran Affairs, he's a real prize asshole. He issued the most tepid statement of sorrow--for the tragic murder of one of HIS OWN employees, mind you--that I have ever had the (non) privilege to hear. It was pathetic--He might just as well have said NOTHING. In fact, it probably would have been better for Collins to have said nothing.
Too bad they couldn’t take a trip together on one of those special DHS/ICE planes. While they’re airborne, someone call in an air traffic control strike…
Meet the new asshole, same as the old asshole

Best people money can buy.
With that amount of money, couldn't there be better results?
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king….
Except they are all morally blind, so no king to be had--or even wanted!
Which one has an eye?
The one holding the paper bag with 50K…
:) Funny!
So true!!!
Whee doggies, NAILED IT!
that is whee like TINY, and doggies like a DICK- right?
oh I would luv to NAIL IT . . . to a fence

Nail him to a very large cactus, maybe a sahuaro.

Zoological perfection!
He not only looks dumb and sounds dumb, he IS dumb.
Mind boggling!
Ring around the rosy--all fall down!
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
"Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss"
This song couldn't possibly be more appropriate!
Who done that?

Was perfect then & perfect now! Perfection NEVER goes out of style!!💙🌻🦋✌🏽
Eh?

Oh. Never heard it. Saw The Who at Woodstock, but I think I slept thru it.
"Those who remember the sixties weren't there. . ."
I was a little kid with no access to psychedelics during the '60s, so I remember well!
Brilliant Who kick-ass rocker released as single in 1971, long after you slept through their set.

Yet somehow so many are fooled over and over again!
Please, don"t fool em 3 times!!!
They're more like hemorrhoids in that they're a pain in EVERYONE'S ass.
or sledgehemmeroids
I made a sign that says sledgehammer against autocracy.
A little bit balder and a little bit worse!
🤣 Those were the days my friend I’d thought they never end we’d sing and dance forever and a day we’d live the life we choose… in case forgot: Song by Mary Hopkin ‧ 1969
Anyone with a brain the size of a pea and was old enough to hear this song when it was first played HAD to remember it. Still does. Still MUST.
I know, i’m an old fuck! (Won’t speak for you, i hate when they include me in, cause they are SO much older than I)🤣🤣
Bravo!
But this new asshole farts $50,000 cash bribes.
What an image! I need brain bleach!
--after he ate them, of course! All that fiber.......
Just like the WHO said!
...and another classic that's apropos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eswQl-hcvU0
Brilliant!! Thanks for the out loud laugh!
Andy -- here's another tune that I've been singing to my GOP friends lately. Works on a lot of levels : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_50-gOeBilc
Patty Smyth! John McEnroe's way better half.
🤣🤣 Those were the days my friend I’d thought they never end we’d sing and dance forever and a day we’d live the life we choose… in case forgot: Song by Mary Hopkin ‧ 1969
Great choice...and Roger before his curls :)
I don't remember ever seeing The Who so clean cut! Definitely an apropos selection.
Ha, I might also add We're Not Gonna Take It, Slip Kid, and Eminence Front...
Bravo have always loved The Who. Planning on getting a CD by Jessie Welles as well!
Excellent!!!!
Thanks, Andy. I only knew there was a band called The Who until 15 minutes ago. Now I realize what I've been missing. Thank God for YouTube!
😉An embarrassment of riches in the psychos and qualified miscreants department!
No, just an embarrassment!
Bovino reminds me of Red Skull, the Marvel villain. Homan reminds me of a Dick Tracy villain.
Lex Luthor without the brains.
He's just taller, fatter and balder. 50K richer?
OMG, Andy... THANK YOU for the belly laughs this morning. My face hurts - in a GOOD way!
Deep bench 🤣🤣🤣 indeed!! Reminds me of an old Steelers Wheel song for some reason… Stuck in the Middle with You. Literally cannot make this up.
Bovino: Italian for "bovine." It fits. He's a stupid cow.
Please be kind to cows. Even bovines know how to wield tools to do good in the world.
In Esperanto, "bovino" means "cow".

Thank you. Very informative. Horrifying.
The mini version!
From bizarre to more bizarre…….could make a musical….
This requires storytelling on an operatic scale.
The Met's answer to former Kennedy artists looking for better gigs?
That's probably what Pete Townsend was thinking when he wrote that line, but he was trying to get it on the radio in the UK and North America.
I’m sure everyone has seen this by now, but I read a meme this morning that said Benito Bovino (of the 1/3 Reich) with Tom Homan is like sh*tting your pants and changing your shirt.

Shannon, you deserve a prize for this!
A Nobel Peace prize?🏆🥰
Sure, why not? Just ask Norway to send one your way. Apparently they give them out for free if you just ask for it or whine and demand for it!
🤣
This is excellent! I did not realize that Bovino was a short man with short man problems. So that's why they call him little Hitler!
FABULOUS!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now this is hilarious!

Perfect. Thank you. I shall be forwarding this to my great beyond.
Yay!!
OMG! That’s hysterical!!😆
Zippity zound, assholes all around!!

LOVE THAT!!! Chef's kiss!!!
All dog-killing assholes (you know who you are!) are encouraged to apply directly to Kristi Noem
Goat killing ones too.
She just likes to kill anyone and anything that's alive! She must have had some childhood! I am a life coach so I see this also as psychology deficient. They all are! Pam Bondi and all of them!
A Life coach, you’ve probably heard that water seeks its own level

👏👏👏👏
A deep bench indeed. The whole cabinet!
And I'm sure that all of the J6 mobsters who have been pardoned but are not ashamed can join in the fun too!
They're already on the job, ICE goons, which is why the masks so facial recognition technology cannot tag them Again. I think I saw a post that Proud Boys leader definitely is high up in ICE; bloodthirsty disgruntled vengeful goons.
Homan acts like a boxer who’s taken too many to the head.
And too may payoffs….
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Thanks for keeping us laughing in these grim times!

I came here to say this too. Thank you, Andy. 🙏🏻
Andy, this may go down as one of your top ten items ever. Brilliant.
I concur! 👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻
Altho scary, I love your reference to a deep bench. Now if we could just get rid of the starters.
Oh hell, just WIPE the whole team, oh please oh please.
Too bad they couldn’t take a trip together on one of those special DHS/ICE planes. While they’re airborne, someone call in an air traffic control strike…
Don't forget to say "pretty please"
I subscribe to the Borowitz Report so that I know, although I live in a red state, that I do not stand alone in the world of rationality.
I’m glad you are here!
What must it be like to have all these candidates in the same room? Terrifying!
spooky, scary stuff to even think about... argh!
--and enough spooky, scary stuff as it is from the White House!
The Sweet Smell of Methane.???
What about those pesky Epstein files?
Thats where all the evidence from Minneapolis is! Those BASTARDS!
Oh, them!
Yes
So true
But
At least
The monsters in this regime flinched
A criminal presidency, full of freaks and misfits, starting at the top.
Put in place by those with rotten agendas, designed to keep us in mental turmoil. Chaos divides a populace, makes them long for 'law and order.'
Bovino’s fascist overcoat couldn’t protect his itty-bitty asshole from getting the boot.
